The vote was 128 to 9 with 35 abstentions including that of Canada. The vote was more PR allowing the GA to side with the Palestinians. The reality is that Jerusalem is already the defacto capitol. The Palestinians have had ample time to work out a deal with Israel but they dont want a deal. I guess if there was an agreement their funding from the rest of the arab world might dry up.
